Ability's database file format can be used directly by Microsoft Access 95/97.

If you want to send a database to an Access user, it may be less confusing for them if
you rename the database file extension. E.g., if you copy the database to the floppy
drive, use Windows Explorer to make the A: drive current, right-click over the database
and select Rename. Keep the file name but change the extension to
"mdb".

If you want to send a table from a database to an Access user, you should first create
a new database to hold the table. Follow these steps:

a) In Ability Database, select File/New and enter myexport.mdb as the
filename (you can use whatever name you want - just make sure you give it an mdb
extension).

b) Re-open your database with the table to be exported. Right-click over the table and
select Export. Select the "Microsoft Access Database" type and
pick the new file you've just created (myexport.mdb in above case).

The end result is a Microsoft Access database containing a single table. You can repeat
step b) for as many tables as wish to export.
